My wifes 2006 x3 decided it wanted to go into rock mode. The battery is dead and then key won't open then door. Is there anyway to pop the hood so I can get power to it. Or do I have to get it towed somehow to the dealership.

Maybe try to hold the key fully turned in the lock while you attempt to pull the door handle?

I had my doors apart last weekend with the battery out of the car and the driver's door lock does not act like the locking mechanisms on the other 3 doors. It is hard to describe, but the driver's door lock button/shaft would not stay in the locked or unlocked position like the other doors.
